No DM-100 or DM-102 today for me in NYC. I usually get them Saturday or Monday, so definitely not late.
It looks like your DM-50, DM-46, and DM-17 are a bit tardy, though. |

Out of your list, I received 46 today and am waiting on 29 and 100 in Chicago. I generally receive 100 10%Sat/70%Mon/10%Tue/10%Wed. The envelope I received today was full page sized with 2/7/18/42/46 postmarked 2/21. |

I didn't get 29 today. I've got them on Friday the last couple of weeks but its normally Sat before I get them with the occasional Monday. (which I too hate waiting until Monday!) |

I usually receive 41/52 together on Friday (which I did yesterday).
I usually receive 21/100/102/84 on Monday (I'm hoping this is the case as I didn't get any of it on Saturday).
I'm really disliking the bundling of arenas and how it's done. Why isn't 100 bundled with 41/52 which have the same turn dates? |

I have been getting mutliple arenas on the same days that should be 3 days apart. 100 36 51 for example.
My reasoning is that they aren't actually running arenas every day but instead only 2-3 days per week.
That would result in turns mailed together that should be spread out.

It's more likely they run them on time, but mail them in bunches (off "schedule"). |

This is our belief.
It is also probable that the last Mon Holiday and the minis for The Mailer are adding to the havock. Plus Lee and Sandy were at a gaming convention last w/e.
But it is sad and painful, nevertheless. |

No DM for me Saturday. I usually get 21,29,100, and 102 bundled together with 81 50% of the time and 81 by itself a day or 2 later. The bulk used to come on Sat, but lately it has been Mon or Tuesday. |

FYI ........................
Wayne,
Unfortunately, as far as we can tell it is USPS related. Everyone is
having problems, we know it isn't on our end due to being able to have
people check the mail meter date on the envelopes. (The post office
won't take mail that doesn't have the same date on the meter stamp as
whatever the date actually is.) We're seeing priority mail taking up
to 9 days to get delivered, with none of it taking less than 5 days.
The only thing to do is speak to your post office as the envelopes are
first class not third class, we'll speak to the post office on our end
and hopefully things will smooth out.
Sandy
----original message----
For the last several months, things seem slow and they come in "lumps". Is
something different going on with the packaging of aremna stuff to send out?
No, I do not think it is USPS related.
The following arenas are on my wait list :
ARENA - run date - elec post date
50 2-18 2-22
46 2-20 2-22
17 2-20 2-22
52 2-21 2-24
106 2-21 2-24
100 2-21 2-24
29 2-22 2-25
Since none arrived today, Feb 27 is the first opportunity to receive any.
Your thoughts?

FYI......
I'm jealous of all of you who live in the USA, since you get your turns many many days before I see mine. I do tend to live "on the edge" with regards the updates of the newsletters on this site, and I did note some slow arenas were updated after fast arenas that ran later. Oh well, I suppose they're called "slow" for a reason.
Just my $0.05 on this thread
Adam.
p.s. Australia got rid of our 1c and 2c pieces years ago, which is why I have to give you 5c rather than a smaller denomination. |

I visited Australia a few times while I was in the navy...blew my mind that the coins got smaller the more they were worth. A 2 dollar coin was the size if our dimes. |
